Countdown to Enshrinement: Navy Midshipman David Robinson looks ahead to his future

In 1987, NCAA Player of the Year David Robinson was interviewed on CBS during halftime of the national championship game between Indiana and Syracuse.

Even at a young age Robinson's intelligence and composure was undeniable as he fielded questions about his future plans and the then-controversial decision by the Navy to reduce his required service time from 5 years to 2 years.

In June of 1987 Robinson would be the first pick in the NBA Draft, ahead of players such as Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller and Kevin Johnson, but the Spurs would have to wait until the 1989-90 season for The Admiral to take the court.
